There’s been a bit of debate on Twitter over when we stopped doing the centre circle pre-match wave…evidence here it was still happening in late 1986. Did it carry on until Wilko stopped it when he threw out the old pictures etc?

Leeds weren’t great in the mid 80s but at least we were a handful at corners. Big George, Bairdy and Linighan prepare to gatecrash the Boro goal in October 85. #nineteen85

Iconic mid-80s Elland Road shot - Baird, WGK shirt and permed long-back, scoring against top of the table Oxford in April 85 in front of the Kop and nearly empty Lowfields seats. All that’s missing is the copper stood on the grass bank! #nineteen85

Tommy and Scott, Shez and Irwin. The writing was on the wall for Eddie and his very young team when we missed out on promotion in 85.

Neil Aspin instructs a young Roger Eli on how to do the #LUFC pre-match centre circle wave on his debut in the 5-2 win over Wimbledon in December 1984. I’m surprised we were still doing it then. Anyone remember when it stopped? #nineteen85

Phil Hughes in a rare appearance in goal for Leeds in 84/85. He played 4 times that season including a 1-1 draw with Man City in front of a bumper bank holiday crowd of 22,000! (The following week we beat Notts County 5-0 with 11,000 there) #nineteen85
